Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Mike Evans/Vincent Jackson/Louis Murphy (Wide Receivers): Evans finally found himself having a productive fantasy game catching 7 of 17 targets for 101 yards but had 4 big drops throughout the game. Evans was taken in the second or third round of fantasy drafts so his lack of production has labeled him a bust thus far but this game is a sign of things moving in the right direction for Evans. Jackson after having a huge week 2 put up a dud with 2 catches on 4 targets for 40 yards.  Murphy also after having a monster game in week 2 only caught 3 out of 6 targets for 61 yards.

Doug Martin/Charles Sims (Running Back): Martin has struggled behind this weak offensive line and to make matters worse he is splitting offensive snaps with Charles Sims. Martin had 14 carries for 46 yards and was the main guy in early down RB work. Since the Bucs were down, Sims played on passing downs predominantly piling up 41 yards and a touchdown on only 2 targets, he also rushed for 11 yards on 6 carries.

Houston Texans

DeAndre Hopkins/Cecil Shorts (Wide Receivers): Hopkins had another big game this season racking up 101 yards on 8 catches while being targeted 14 times. Hopkins also had a touchdown; he will continue to dominate the targets in this Houston offense. Shorts on the other hand had 58 yards on 6 catches out of 9 targets. Hopkins almost seems quarterback proof.

Alfred Blue/ Chris Polk (Running Backs): Blue had his best day as the Texans primary running back. He finished with 139 yards and a touchdown on 31 carries. Blue was clearly the main back while Foster was still sidelined and he made an impact in week 3. Polk flopped with 5 carries for 5 yards.
